sxsw 2k9

This was Wednesday at Red7 for the Found/Quack Media show.
You can't help but love Ben Nichols.

It's hard to sum up the entire 4 days I spent running around downtown, catching new bands, meeting new faces and being in the crowds of sxsw.

It's fucking fantastic yet so exhausting.
Watching my drinking, so I don't ruin the entire next day.
But drinking enough so that I don't care if this 6ft asshole stood right in front of me, blocking everything I'd like to see.
But I took what I was given, and walk away satisfied.

All the uploaded websites are busy busy busy.
EVERYONE blew up youtube/flickr/ twitter with sx nonsense.
All within our lovely city.

Below is the list of Acts I caught and remember ;)
Doomtree
Common Market
Blue and Exile
Blue Scholars
Eligh and Grouch
Ebony Bones
B.O.B.
Brother Ali
POS
Eyedea & Abilities
Abstract Rude
Lucero
Janelle Monae
Zeale
Dead Prez
Kanye
Common and Erykah Badu
Kid Sister
Diplo
Boombox
Kid Cudi
Fonzworth Bently
Vivian Girls
The Bronx
Mickey Factz
Klever and Craze
Charles Hamilton
Rev Peytons Big Damn Band [who were awesome]
The Thermals

Big ups to KnuckleRumblers- they brought Janelle Monae and she was so fucking ill.
She's my new obsession.
And my top performance.
Followed by the Common and Erykah surprise
Then B.o.b aka Bobby Ray
Then POS

Can I just say, I loved POS's stuff prior to this, but Stefon is seriously one of the nicest artist I have ever come across, and that brings in more fans.
So thank you, to him.
Like RIDICULOUSLY outgoing with his fans. And no matter where I saw him/ran into him, he always said hello, and joked around for a bit. We also have the same teal/black plaid shirt. :)

And Doomtree. DOPE. Dessa is sick.

I hit up mainly hip hop this year because I missed out on it all last year.

Regardless it was a good year, and hopefully I'll get more stuff uploaded here soon. [videos mainly]

DONT BE GHEY, BLOGGER!! UPLOAD MY SHIT!
